Beneath the Snow, Something Is Still Growing
Early spring has been bringing quite the surprise this year.
Warm, sun-filled days followed by sudden snowfall — a kind of seasonal whiplash that can feel both disappointing and strangely grounding. I found myself wishing I had brought a few daffodils indoors before the snow arrived, wanting to hold onto the promise of spring just a little longer.
This time of year is always my favorite. I love the returning light and the daily ritual of stepping into my garden to notice what is emerging. Each small green shoot feels like a quiet greeting from the earth. I had hoped to share photos of this new growth, but for now those tender beginnings rest beneath a soft blanket of snow.
Instead of frustration, I am choosing to receive this moment as an invitation — a reminder not to rush forward too quickly, but to pause. To notice. To journal. To reflect.
Recently, I was introduced to the work of poet Emory Hall. Her poem I Have Been a Thousand Different Women has been resonating deeply with me. It speaks to the many selves we inhabit throughout our lives, and the wisdom that is gathered through each transition.
I am not the same woman I was at 18, or even at 30. With time, I have learned to make peace with moments when I felt I could have shown up differently. I hold gratitude for the experiences that shaped me and for the growth that continues to unfold.
I also find myself honoring the women who came before me — my ancestors. Some lived with vitality and strength, while others carried hardship. Some I know by name; others are known only through the quiet inheritance of their stories. All of them are threads in the tapestry of who I am becoming.
As the seasons shift, I notice how each phase of life offers its own teachings. With the wisdom gathered so far, I find myself gently dreaming forward, wondering what the next season will ask of me — and what it might offer in return.
A Gentle Invitation for Reflection
As you move through these unpredictable early spring days, you might pause to consider:
What is quietly emerging in your life right now?
What parts of yourself are you being invited to honor or release?
How might you support your own unfolding in this season?
